March 2025 Ministering Handout

March 2025 Ministering Handout

Happy March everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to a wonderful new month!  I am lucky to have you all here and I appreciate your sweet support!

But I am going to be scaling back a little bit now, I will still do the message card as well as a blank card, but I am not going to show a small gift idea unless I have something new and original. As I am a full-time care giver now, I need to scale back a little bit.  Occasionally I will try to give ideas, but I know that you have many ideas of your own.

This month I chose this quote from Neil L Anderson.  It is from his talk last conference, titled, “The Triumph of Hope”:  “As we strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ, we see beyond our struggles to the blessings and promises of eternity. Like a light whose brilliance grows, hope brightens the darkened world, and we see our glorious future.” 

As a caregiver this quote gives me great hope!

Dec 2024 Ministering Handout

Well, we’ve almost made it through another year!  I love December and all the fun memories and the great reflections on how much the Savior has done for me and my family in this past year.  Hearts turn to Him and to serving others in this wonderful month…and it is beautiful.  May we all open our hearts and let Him in!

Nov 2024 Ministering Handout

Nov 2024 Ministering Handout

Welcome to the month of Gratitude!  Fall is finally in the air here in Utah and as a result I am a happy camper!

This month I chose gratitude for the theme! 

And I concentrated on being grateful for a living prophet.  I used the prophet’s talk that he just gave in the Oct 2024 General Conference.  It is titled “The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again”.   Didn’t you just LOVE this talk?  I am so excited for when the Savior comes again…I just worry about what more we will have to go through before that happens!  But President Nelson assures us that “The Best is Yet to Come!”

Hey everyone!  Happy October!  I love the fall time with the cooler weather and the leaves changing colors and that it is finally sweater weather! 

However, here in Utah…it is not quite sweater weather yet…it has been in the 90’s!!!  But we will get there.

Happy September everyone!  Are you ready for fall?  I know I am.  We have had a very hot summer and I am ready for a cool down!  

This month I found a fun little item at Trader Joe’s and knew that I wanted to use it in my ministering handout.  It is gummy Bacon and Eggs…and no they do not taste like bacon and eggs, they are cherry and mango!  They are sooo yummy! (more…)

August 2024 Ministering Handout

August 2024 Ministering Handout

Well, here we are “Rollin’ into August!  Where does the time go?  I guess it just flies by when you are having fun, right?! 

August is always a busy month with back to school, last minute vacations, canning, and yard work, but I love it!  I have been having fun with my yard this year with the flowers that I planted from seeds in my greenhouse last winter.  I have learned a lot and it seems like gardening is a lot of trial and error…but that is what is fun about it!

July 2024 Ministering Handout

July 2024 Ministering Handout

Happy July everyone!  Hope your summer is going great!  We are HOT here is Utah, but what do we expect when we live in a desert?!

I love July because we get to celebrate the freedom of our country on the 4th and we also get to celebrate the Pioneers coming to Utah on the 24th!  Two fantastic reasons to celebrate!  I have my flags out in my flower pots,

I am waving my star quilt in my house,

and I got to attend our little local parade last week with the flag leading the way!  We have so many reasons to celebrate our freedom. (more…)

June 2024 Ministering Handout

Let the Summer begin!  I am ready…are you?

This month for the June 2024 ministering handout, I chose the talk from Susan H. Porter: “Pray, He Is There”.   Don’t you love this quote:

“When you know that Heavenly Father is real and that He loves you, you can live with courage and hope!” 

Given that it’s summer, I wanted, sunshine-inspired colors to brighten everyone’s day.
